Some people say that it is possible to tell a lot about a person’s culture and character from their choice of cloths. Do you agree or disagree?

There is a view that a person’s
culture
 and personality can be established simply by recognizing the clothes they choose to wear. In my opinion,
although
 one’s choice of clothing can tell us much about these traits,
this
 is very rare as appearances are usually only informative up to a point.
To begin
 with, it is important to acknowledge that the dress sense of many people is reflective of their
culture
 and interests.
This
 is because in many cultures there is a particular code for how to dress appropriately.
For instance
, if we see a man wearing an expensive suit and carrying a briefcase, we can make a fair guess that he is steeped in business
culture
. Because of these social symbols, it is possible to quickly ascertain that people live in one
culture
instead
 of another. That said, there are often limits to how much we can discover just by looking at someone’s clothes, especially when it comes to their character. After all, it is said that you should never judge a book by its cover. To illustrate, a woman dressed all in black may be judged to have a depressed, morose, pessimistic nature as we associate
such
 feelings with the colour black.
However
, it is more than possible that
such
 a woman is returning from a funeral or simply thinks she looks good in black and, more importantly, she has a happy, cheerful disposition. In conclusion, while it is not impossible to gather accurate information about a person’s background and character via their dress sense, there is a real danger of being misled if we rely on
this
 method of assessment at all times.

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
